Feeling the powerful aura emanating from Sasuke, Naruto involuntarily took two steps back.
Although the two of them are now both friends and competitors, and they occasionally spar, this is the first time he has felt such a strong Sasuke.
Even in Naruto's view, Sasuke today was completely different from the person he remembered.
In fact, it was not only Naruto who thought this, but Itachi on the side also felt that Sasuke's aura was far different from the younger brother in his impression.
"It's been a long time since we last met, Sasuke."
As he spoke, Itachi stood up from the ground.
Itachi was also very pleased with Sasuke's growth.
However, Sasuke had no intention of chatting with Itachi.
He looked directly at Itachi.
His tone was somewhat questioning, "Itachi, why did you leave Konoha?"
Sasuke never understood why Itachi left Konoha.
He is not only a famous genius of the Uchiha clan, but also the eldest son of the former clan leader.
If he had not left Konoha, the person who would now take over the Uchiha clan and become the clan leader might be Itachi.
No……
Sasuke shook his head.
In his opinion, Itachi was better than Kiyoshi and Setsuna in terms of combat thinking and actual combat experience.
He could even become the captain of the Konoha Police Department.
However, Itachi, who was supposed to have a bright future, chose to betray Konoha and Zephyr.
In his heart, he really couldn't understand it.
"Zephus, it's not as good as you think." Itachi answered without thinking.
"In order to become the Hokage of Konoha, Zephyr used abnormal means."
No matter what, Sasuke is now a Konoha ninja.
Itachi also felt that there was something he should tell the current Sasuke.
The truth about leaving Konoha.
And what Zefeng did back then.
When he heard that the reason why Itachi defected to Konoha was related to Zephyr, Naruto at the side immediately cheered up.
"Abnormal means?" Sasuke frowned subconsciously, feeling unable to understand the meaning of Itachi's words.
Brother Zephyr became the strongest Uchiha at the age of fifteen.
Even his father Fugaku was no match for him.
He also contributed to quelling the war in the village.
If even such a ninja couldn't become Hokage.
Then who else is qualified to become the fifth Hokage of Konoha?
"Could it be..."
Suddenly, Sasuke's eyes widened in shock as he looked at Itachi, as if he realized something.
"You are the one who wants to become the Fifth Hokage?"
As he spoke, Sasuke couldn't help but figure out that Itachi failed in his struggle for power with Zephyr, so he was forced to leave the village.
However, Itachi immediately shook his head and denied it, saying that he had no such ambitions.
Even with his current ninja skills, he still believes that ninjas are people who should silently protect peace in the darkness.
And Zefeng's way of declaring war on the Kingdom of Thunder with great fanfare was undoubtedly contrary to his way of tolerance.
Then he told the truth about that year.
"The Third Hokage has never supported Zephyr becoming the Fifth Hokage."
"At that time, the Third Hokage once told me that he wanted the legendary Sannin."
"Jiraiya-sama or Tsunade-sama will succeed the Fifth Hokage."
"But even so, Zephyr eventually became the Fifth Hokage."
Itachi paused for a moment and further explained to Sasuke, "I don't have any objection to Zefeng becoming Hokage."
"It's just that after my investigation, it turns out that the way Zefeng became Hokage was not with the support of the Third Hokage and the Daimyo."
"But..."
When he said this, Itachi deliberately raised his voice, and then revealed an astonishing secret.
"Through the illusion of the Sharingan, he turned the Third Hokage and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire into his own puppets."
Facing Sasuke and Naruto, Itachi directly revealed the truth of the year.
Maybe Zephyr is indeed a genius that the Uchiha clan has not seen in a century.
Konoha also flourished under his rule.
But he did use Sharingan genjutsu against the daimyo and the Third Hokage.
This is an unchangeable fact.
It's also quite bad behavior.
This was also the reason why Itachi could never truly recognize Zephyr in his heart.
Even though he and Juuzang had been to Konoha after the Japanese reform, they were shocked by the changes in the village.
I also think that Jiraiya and Tsunade will not be better than Zephyr.
However, from Itachi's point of view, this was completely two different things.
Just because Zefeng has done good things, we cannot selectively forget the evil deeds he committed.
What's more, the illusion that Zefeng cast on the Third Hokage was another god left behind by Shisui.
He used Shisui's eyes to do what Shisui least wanted to do!
Regardless of whether it was public or private, Itachi could not recognize Zefeng.
"It's a question of whether we're on the right track."
After finishing speaking, Itachi looked at Sasuke seriously.
I have to say that the so-called truth in his mouth really made Sasuke and Naruto feel like they were slapped in the face.
Especially Naruto, his eyes were even more exaggerated than a cow's eyes, and his mouth opened in an "oh" shape involuntarily.
And it's so exaggerated that it can fit a fist into it.
"Liar, liar, right?"
"How could Brother Zephyr use genjutsu on Grandpa Sarutobi?"
When I think about Brother Zefeng being gentle and considerate, he can also cook delicious meals.
Naruto never wanted to believe that Zephyr would use genjutsu to control Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage.
Not only him, Sasuke also felt weird about what Itachi said.
Brother Zefeng, how could you do that kind of thing?
"This, this is impossible!"
For a moment, Sasuke quickly shook his head and denied, "With Brother Zefeng's personality, he would never do such a thing."
"Besides, there's no reason for him to do such a thing."
"Brother Zephyr is undoubtedly the best ninja in history!"
Sasuke's idea is also very simple.
If someone as good as Kazuo is not qualified to become Hokage.
Then looking at Konoha, who else is qualified to be the Hokage of Konoha?
No!
Since the Hokage must be Zephyr, why would he do this?
Facing Sasuke's denial, Itachi was not surprised at all.
"The reason why you think so is simply because you have seen Konoha now."
"But six years ago today, it was a different situation."
"The Japanese style at that time was indeed very strong, but the person was also very sharp."
"The Third Hokage is worried that after Zephyr becomes Hokage, he will have Danzo's ambition to unify the ninja world."
"This triggered the Fourth Ninja War, so I don't think Zephyr is the ideal candidate."
"Zefeng knew this very well at the time, so he chose this extreme method to ensure that he became Hokage."
As he spoke, Itachi sighed helplessly.
In any case, he and Feng had known each other for many years.
We also had a good relationship when we were kids.
If the evidence wasn't conclusive, he wouldn't want to believe that He Feng had really committed such a heinous act.
So, he further explained the reason why he left the village.
He broke into the daimyo's mansion alone.
This led to the discovery of the fact that the daimyo was controlled by genjutsu.
I wanted to make this evil deed public and let Hefeng receive the punishment he deserved.
However, the Uchiha clan, both Kiyo and Setsuna, regard Zephyr as their savior.
Even for such evil deeds, they not only acquiesced in He Feng's right, but also fully supported him.
"In order to prevent the truth from being exposed, that guy Qing even killed the famous man."
The Uchiha Itachi was sonorous and powerful, making a loud sound.
No matter which ninja village you belong to, attacking a daimyo is a heinous crime.
It is a sin that can never be forgiven.
Only the gentle breeze.
He not only did that.
He was not punished in any way and became the Hokage of Konoha!
"You should understand now, right? Sasuke."
"The person who should be the S-class defecting ninja, the person who should leave Konoha, should be Zephyr."
As he spoke, Itachi even spread his hands, as if opening his heart and arms to Sasuke.
I hope Sasuke can believe in himself.
I have to say that this fact did have a huge impact on Naruto and Sasuke's hearts.
Especially Sasuke.
His mind couldn't help but feel a little blank.
Because over the years, he has always hoped that Itachi could return to the village and return to the Uchiha station.
So he also secretly investigated what happened that year.
The result was that Itachi defected to Konoha because he committed the crime of assassinating the daimyo.
Now upon hearing Itachi's confession.
The whole thing was suddenly turned upside down.
The person who killed the daimyo was clearly Qing.
The police captain who carries the justice of Konoha!
"Brother Hefeng is not that kind of person!"
But unlike Sasuke, although Naruto was also shocked by the news Itachi said, compared to Itachi.
In his heart, he was more willing to believe in He Feng.
Even at this moment, Naruto couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and threw away the agreement between him and Sasuke.
"shave!"
With Naruto's loud shout, he stepped on his feet dozens of times within a few tenths of a second, and using the reaction force generated by the continuous stepping, he rushed towards Itachi.
The speed was so fast that both Itachi and Sasuke were a little surprised.
Naruto made a fist with five fingers, released black and purple airflow, wrapped around his wrist, and finally hit Itachi's chest with all his strength.
"Naruto!" Sasuke saw this and quickly stopped Naruto's impulse.
At the same time, use the Thunder Chakra mode.
Dazzling lightning burst out from Sasuke's body, activating all his muscles and cells.
In this mode, his speed is slightly better than Naruto's Six Style Shave.
In an instant, Sasuke caught up with Naruto who was rushing towards Itachi, and used his Sharingan to lock Naruto's attack path.
Before he hit Itachi hard with a punch, he stretched out his palm and intercepted Naruto's attack.
In an instant, Naruto and Sasuke collided with each other with fists and palms.
Boom!
The loud noise was like thunder falling from the sky.
A terrifying air current was generated where the two collided strongly, sweeping in all directions.
Itachi's chest received a strong impact first, and he was forced to step back.
Although he had many disagreements with He Feng, he had no doubt about He Feng's strength.
With Sasuke's current strength, even if we look at the entire Akatsuki organization, he is one of the top ones.
This is enough to show that Zefeng's teaching is quite terrifying.
"Sasuke, what are you doing?"
Naruto looked back at Sasuke.
If Sasuke just wanted to educate Itachi and take him back to Konoha, then he naturally had nothing to say.
But now, Itachi was slandering Brother Zefeng.
This was unacceptable to him.
"Listen to me, Naruto."
"I can understand how you feel now, but I must be the one to defeat Itachi."
However, the situation was different from what Naruto imagined.
The reason why Sasuke stopped him was not to protect his brother, Uchiha Itachi.
Just to teach Itachi a lesson personally.
"I must be the one who brings Itachi back to the village."
Sasuke emphasized to Naruto with a serious look on his face.
No matter what, Itachi was his brother.
Family love, which is thicker than water, is an unchangeable fact.
As for whether what Itachi said was true.
Just return to the village.
As long as you confront Brother Zefeng, the truth will come to light.
"Sasuke." Naruto frowned.
Although he was angry at Itachi's behavior, when he thought about his relationship with Sasuke.
Think of him as your first friend.
Naruto's frown finally relaxed again.
"All right."
He nodded and decided to leave Itachi to Sasuke to deal with it himself.
Naruto then glanced at Itachi again.
There was a little more blame in his eyes.
Then, Naruto kicked his feet hard and fell back from Sasuke.
After taking care of Naruto, Sasuke turned back. He focused his attention back on Itachi.
"Moonstep."
With a low voice, Sasuke walked through the air and chased after Itachi.
Seeing Sasuke's still determined expression, Itachi felt puzzled.
"Even if you know that Hefeng has committed an unforgivable crime, do you still want to stand by his side?"
Itachi couldn't help but question Sasuke.
"Is what Xiao is doing right now?"
Sasuke and Itachi met each other's eyes and fought back without hesitation.
"He ran to other people's villages and took away their jinchūriki, not to mention seriously injuring the other party's Kazekage."
"Is this right?"
"Also, the goal of the Akatsuki organization is to collect all the Jinchuuriki, right?"
"This means that both Naruto and Xianglin will be taken away by them."
"Is this also correct?"
In his eyes, what Zefeng did was at least much more upright than the Akatsuki organization.
The most important thing is that Zefeng really loves Konoha.
If it weren't for the Third Hokage not being optimistic about Zephyr's selection of the Fifth Hokage.
That won't happen either.
While rebutting Itachi, Sasuke used the Thunder Chakra mode to rush directly in front of Itachi. He suddenly raised his right leg and threw a whip kick at Itachi's left shoulder.
It's just that this time with the enhancement of the Thunder Chakra mode, the speed and strength have been greatly enhanced.
Even a genius like Itachi couldn't resist.
Of course, although he couldn't resist Sasuke's attack, he still responded.
Itachi's body began to crack at a speed visible to the naked eye, transforming into black crows.
"Ahhhhh..."
The cries of crows are endless.
This meant that Sasuke's attack only hit one of Itachi's crow shadow clones.
The real Itachi appeared behind Sasuke.
Since the truth doesn't make sense, all we can do is rely on skill.
If one of their own is defeated by Sasuke here, then they will support the battle on the other side.
This resulted in Kisame's defeat.
There are still about four hours left before Shukaku is completely removed from Gaara's body.
You have to hold on no matter what.
However, despite what he said, Itachi still felt pressure when facing Sasuke today.
After all, he only has fifty percent of his body's chakra.
Unable to exert full strength.
"Sasuke, you look more and more like Zefeng now."
I don't know if he was influenced by Ze Feng, but just when he refuted himself, I suddenly saw the shadow of Ze Feng in him.
But Itachi just complained.
There were clean and neat seals on his hands.
The body took a deep breath and concentrated chakra into the throat.
The lungs are swollen with air.
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
The next moment, Itachi's chest quickly shriveled up, and a large amount of flames gathered together to form a huge fireball with a diameter of more than six meters.
And this fireball is not as simple as staying in front of Itachi.
Instead, he released it directly towards Sasuke.
A wave of heat rushed towards Sasuke.
Naruto also hurriedly reminded Sasuke to be careful at the critical moment.
But why does Sasuke need other people's reminders now?
Although the opponent he faced this time was Itachi, he had been mentally prepared for this before rushing here.
"I can't lose and I won't lose."
Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the blazing fire in front of him.
At this moment, he chose not to dodge or avoid.
Grasping the five fingers tightly together, he swung at the fireball in front of him with all his strength.
Bang!
The power of thunder and lightning accumulated in Sasuke's fist suddenly exploded.
Forcibly split the flying fireball into two.
This is the strength of Sasuke's thunder chakra now.
Watching Sasuke grow amazingly. Itachi was equally surprised.
"Moonstep!"
Relying on his proficiency in the use of six postures, Sasuke directly chose to step on the air with both feet and rush through the gap in the fireball.
"Even if your crow shadow clone technique saves chakra compared to ordinary shadow clones, it doesn't consume completely."
"And the moves I use are pure ninjutsu, which consume less chakra than you do."
Sasuke snapped.
He wanted to make Itachi understand that blindly using the Crow Shadow Clone Technique to evade his attacks was just a waste of time.
He did take Itachi back to the village.
But he also wanted to defeat Itachi head-on.
To prove yourself.
"You may be right."
"An ordinary ninjutsu like Go Fireball is indeed no match for you."
Looking at the menacing Sasuke, Itachi had to recognize the truth.
Today's Sasuke is no longer the person who can't even protect himself.
Now he is a disciple of He Feng.
He is Konoha's outstanding ninja!
Thinking of this, Itachi no longer retained his strength.
His eyes closed slightly.
Sasuke also used Moon Step to come to him.
Seeing Itachi with his eyes closed, Sasuke couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
It was obviously a little surprised by Itachi's performance.
But then, Itachi's eyes suddenly opened and widened!
Meeting Sasuke's Sharingan.
The two sides looked at each other.
Sasuke saw the three magatama spinning rapidly in Itachi's pupils.
And this kind of scene, Sasuke has seen in Zefeng's eyes before!
"This is... the Mangekyō Sharingan!"
Surprised, Sasuke couldn't help but exclaim, while recalling the warning that Zephyr had given him.
My own Itachi was not only a genius in the field of illusion.
After evolving the kaleidoscope, his illusion ability has reached a new level.
Ordinary three magatama can't stop his illusion at all.
After realizing this, Sasuke did not dare to meet Itachi's eyes anymore and quickly glanced to the other side.
The good thing is that although Sasuke doesn't have the same Haki as Xiang Rin.
But he can judge the other party's next move based on their slight movements.
After avoiding Itachi's Sharingan, Sasuke quickly looked at Itachi's hands and feet.
Discover whether it's your hands or your feet.
Itachi didn't even move.
This made Sasuke feel a little surprised.
He thought Itachi would definitely seize this opportunity and repel him.
However, although he didn't know what Itachi was thinking, he showed no mercy.
The five fingers immediately came together to form a knife shape.
He slashed towards Itachi's left shoulder.
Because of the use of six postures like the Moon Step, Sasuke's feet were on the air.
It doesn't matter the height difference.
It's just that Itachi didn't turn on the Mangekyo just to get beaten up by Sasuke.
The moment the kaleidoscope is turned on.
A red chakra spread from Itachi's body.
From a distance, it looked like a flame formed by chakra, completely covering his body.
Naruto, who saw this scene for the first time, was quite surprised.
But then, Naruto saw bones appearing out of thin air behind Itachi.
His eyes also widened a lot.
As for the lightning sword that Sasuke swung out, it hit Susanoo straight away.
Boom!
The two forces collided strongly at this moment.
The shock wave spread out in all directions.
Uproot all the flowers and plants in the area.
Even Naruto, who was standing far away, could not escape the impact of the completion of the two.
With his heels firmly on the ground, he slid directly on the grass eight feet away.
The strong wind that hit his face made it difficult for Naruto to open his eyes, and he had to use his arms to resist.
Only then could he barely see the situation clearly.
I saw that the dense white bones not only formed the spine behind Itachi, but also extended to the soles of his feet.
A snow-white arm extends from the shoulder.
He forcefully blocked Sasuke's Thunder Hand Sword completely.
And intact.
No one knows the power of Sasuke's thunder hand sword better than Naruto.
Whether it's a sharp kunai or a hard rock.
It can be destroyed easily.
But now, Itachi's ninjutsu can't be broken!
This really shocked Naruto.
But speaking of shock, Itachi felt the same way in his heart.
Although he blocked Sasuke's attack, the impact rushed straight to his body through his Susanoo.
If he hadn't experienced it himself, he wouldn't have believed that Sasuke now had such exaggerated power.
"Susanohu is one of the strongest ninjutsu I can use right now."
"And those who are forced have to use this trick."
"It just shows that Sasuke has become very dangerous now..."
For a moment, Itachi couldn't help feeling filled with emotion.
I really don’t know what Hefeng has taught me in these six years...
